Alex is a single mother who is a full time musician. While she was a younger adult, she roomed up with her sister Leanna and fellow club members, Greta Patel and Leah Patel. She met up with Alex Goins and became pregnant with her daughter, Briana, and thats when she found out that Alex did not like children and he ended up leaving her to herself.

Soon, the inhabitants of the house she was living in with left one by one to start their own families leaving only Tara Villareal living with her in the large house, Tara was to move out soon, for she was getting married, but she invited Alex and Briana to live with them.

It’s a shame for the house they were in was rich, gained from the club members, Ariel, Stacey, and Tamika and the others. Tara, who was not a club member, would eventually inherit this wealth without putting hardly a dime into its bank.

Alex and Briana eventually move out of Tara’s house when Alex started to receive her royalties from her music and that’s how Alex explained it to Leah Patel over dinner.

Briana was a child when they moved into the Mesim house in Oasis Springs. The two where close for Briana thought a lot of her mother. She was excited about their house and that she had her own room. Though just a C student, she promises her mother she will bring her grades up.

Alex talents in music was in piano and guitar. When Alex came in from work late at night, she would play a few songs on the guitar or piano before she went to bed. For Briana it was comforting sound of her mother’s singing voice as she played guitar.

Briana formed a club for just the kids in town, called the Kids club. She set the rules to state that they must play with toys, swim, and use the water slide. The main rule though that they also do their homework. I think that was put in by her mother.

But it concern Alex leaving Briana at home by herself and maybe it was best to hire a nanny. It was something on her mind.

Most of the time, Briana’s friends are over for a visit, in this case Julissa Holiday did a stay over. Brianna friends list was getting long, being the leader of a popular club. She was always in good spirits.

One night one of club members wanted to get together, with her home work all done, it didn’t seem to be a  bad idea, just didn’t realize it was at the nightclub. Well no points for the club tonight, but dancing was fun.

A funny episode occurred one evening where Alex and Briana went over to Stacey Holiday’s house for a visit. Stacey’s father, Samson, decided to cook up something on the burner when he ended up cooking himself. Everyone one stood around and chatted away as Samson quietly burned to death.

Stacey Holiday was too busy talking to Alex and Briana while all the commotion was occurring in front of her. Her mother was pretty much stricken by the whole event and upon seeing Grimm sweeping up the ashes.

Soon after the Major Chords called a meeting. Alex wanted some ideas for a nanny and what to do with their aging parents. It was a solemn meeting by the pool.

They all hope for good deaths for their parents, and not the way that Stacey father went. Geez.. burnt to a crisp.

Alex had to go to work and so the meeting drew to a close. Gave some time for the girls to talk a bit about Alex’s situation.

Alex’s answer came in the form of a teenager named Katelin. One day at the park Alex noticed Katelin hanging and playing with the girls in Briana’s club. She approached her and wonder if she could do the deed of caring for Briana. After a few checks, it was a done deal.

After school Katelin would come home with Briana and they would do homework together and socialize afterwards. It was a sweet setup.

When Alex came home, she and Katelin had a discussion. Alex wanted to know her better, she seem to be a decent type of person. She found out that Katelin wanted to be a bar tender and during their chat she made a nice drink for Alex’s diner.

Katelin mentions she too was abandon by her father and that her mother could barely make support to pay the rent. Alex decided to hire Katelin as a full time nanny, for not only can she make drinks, but she can also cook. Seems reasonable.

While Briana spent the night at the Holiday’s, Alex and Katelin went out to the nightclub and ran into Juanita Holiday. Katelin introduces herself to Juanita.

Soon Walter, Juanita’s husband, joins them and Alex asks “Have you met my new nanny Katelin?”

The next morning was a Saturday, and so Briana called for a club meeting. Briana was a A student and the three moved to an even bigger house in Oasis Springs to make room for Katelin. Alex was ranking it in from her royalties and reached her top level in the musician field.

Alex and Briana finally moved to the Rio Verde house in Oasis, which is in the same neighborhood as Tamika Patel house. The Rio Verde is a four bedroom home with 2-1/2 baths. With a pool and room for a water slide, it makes a good home for all three.

I kinda felt for Alex. She was destined to be ignored and forgotten until I made a mistake in thinking that her sister, Leanna, had two boys. So I had Alex get pregnant from a Sim who ended up not liking kids, but I did get a girl to keep the Hanks lineage in tack. Then I found out that Leanna did have a girl after all. Whoops.

The Rio Verde house is available in my library.

Thanks for reading.
